The lot line adjustment is required by the City Council approved Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Real Property of said portion of vacated right -of -way. No new lots will be created and the number of lots will remain the same. RECOMMENDATION 1) Conduct a public hearing; and 2) Adopt Draft Zoning Administrator Resolution No. _ approving Lot Line Adjustment No. LA2011 -002 (Attachment No. ZA 1). DISCUSSION • Re- alignment of Carnation Avenue created City -owned vacated right -of -way on the east side of Carnation Avenue including approximately 1,009 square feet abutting the subject property which is developed with a two -unit condominium. • In 1997, the applicant (owner of one of the condos) received an encroachment permit and encroachment agreement from the City to install private improvements in the City -owned parcel. These improvements were limited to an entrance stairway and walkway, a 3 -foot high retaining wall, raised concrete block planter walls, landscaping and irrigation. • In 2011, the applicant requested and received approval to purchase the 1,009 - square -foot portion of the vacated right -of -way and entered into a Purchase and Sale agreement with the City (Attachment No. ZA 2). • This agreement requires that a lot line adjustment be applied for to incorporate the portion of the vacated right -way into 412 and 412 '/z Carnation Avenue. The resulting lot area will be approximately 5,791 square feet. • If approved, front yard setback regulations will apply to the acquired area. • Conditions and limitations of the Agreement stipulate that no habitable structures are permitted in the acquired area nor can the area be used to increase the buildable area of the lot. These conditions are included in the draft Zoning Administrator Resolution for approval (Attachment No. ZA 1). ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The project qualifies for exemption under Section 15305, of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines - Class 5 (Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations) of the California Environmental Quality Act because it consists of minor alterations in land use limitations (lot line adjustments) in areas with an average slope of less than 20 %, which do not result in any changes in land use or density. PUBLIC NOTICE Notice of this application was mailed to all owners of property within 300 feet of the boundaries of the site (excluding intervening rights -of -way and waterways) including the applicant and posted on the subject property at least 10 days prior to the decision date, consistent with the provisions of the Municipal Code. APPEAL PERIOD: An appeal may be filed with the Director of Community Development or City Clerk, as applicable, within fourteen (14) days following the date the action or decision was rendered unless a different period of time is specified by the Municipal Code (e.g., Title 19 allows ten (10) day appeal period for tentative parcel and tract maps, lot line adjustments, or lot mergers). For additional information on filing an appeal, contact the Planning Division at 949 644 -3200.

Lot Line Adjustment In accordance with Section 19.76.020 (Procedures for Lot Line Adjustments) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code, the following findings and facts in support of such findings are set forth: Finding: A. That the establishment, maintenance or operation of the use of the property or building will not, under the circumstances of this particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, comfort and general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of such proposed use or be detrimental or injurious to property and improvements in the neighborhood or the general welfare of the City for the following reasons. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The two -unit residential use of the property is not changing and is consistent with the two -unit residential (R -2) zone. 2. With the additional area added to the lot, the lot remains consistent with the development pattern of the neighborhood. 3. Public improvements and infrastructure currently exist within the neighborhood; and the lot line adjustment, in and of itself, will not result in the need for additional improvements and /or facilities. Finding: B. The number of parcels resulting from the lot line adjustment remains the same as before the lot line adjustment. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. A portion of the vacated right -of -way is being added to the adjacent 412 and 412 '/Y Carnation Avenue parcel. Therefore, no additional parcels will result from the lot line adjustment. Finding: C. The parcel resulting from the lot line adjustment complies with all applicable zoning regulations and there will be no change in the land use, density, or intensity on the property. Tmplt: 04/1712012 Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2012 -0 ## Page 3 of 6 Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The lot line adjustment is adding 1,009 square feet of vacated right -of -way and is not creating a new lot. The resulting lot size of approximately 5,791 square feet is consistent with the size of lots in the vicinity. 2. The lot line adjustment is consistent with applicable zoning regulations and the resultant parcel is not more nonconforming as to lot width, depth and area than the parcel that existed prior to the lot line adjustment. 3. The existing and allowed density of two -units does not change with the lot line adjustment. 4. There is no change in intensity as the added area can't be used to increase buildable area. Finding: D. Neither the lots as adjusted nor adjoining parcels will be deprived of legal access as a result of the lot line adjustment. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The portion of the vacated right -of -way is adjacent to Carnation Avenue. Access to the subject parcel and to any adjacent parcels is from the alley which is not affected by the lot line adjustment. Finding: E. That the final configuration of the parcels involved will not result in the loss of direct vehicular access from an adjacent alley for any of the parcels that are included in the lot line adjustment. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The portion of the vacated right -of -way is adjacent Carnation Avenue and therefore, the final configuration of the parcel will not result in the loss of direct vehicular access from the alley. Finding: F. That the final configuration of a reoriented lot does not result in any reduction of the street side setbacks as currently exist adjacent to a front yard of any adjacent key, unless such reduction is accomplished through a zone change to establish appropriate street side setbacks for the reoriented lot. The Planning Commission and City Council in approving the zone change application shall determine that the street side setbacks are appropriate, Tmplt: 04/1712012 Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2012 -0 ## Paqe 4 of 6 and are consistent and compatible with the surrounding pattern of development and existing adjacent setbacks Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The lot is not being reoriented and the final configuration of the parcels does not result in a requirement for revised setbacks. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: 1.
